Morning, everyone. It is now 5'10. Today is January the 16th, 2025, and we're on a Friday. It's going to be cold. I've had some warm days, 40 degrees for the winters. Pretty warm. I think we actually had a 50 degree last week. But now today is supposed to drop down into the teens today. We might get some snow this weekend, but it may pass at the same time. So we'll see. Pagets will play. I don't think they'll get. beat the Texans, but we'll give them that much credit yet, but they are a special team, so maybe they get lucky. We'll see. It'll be fun.

So three o'clock game, so I'll definitely be able to watch it. It's a pretty awesome. And then the game, the, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the bills against the Denver, that's going to be another tough game for the bills, too. Uh, I expect, I expect, uh, the Texans to have to go to Denver for the AFC championship, but we'll see, see if one of the other two teams, the Patriots are the, the, uh, the, bills can pull that off. It's going to be interesting.

So yesterday, what do we do? We took an evaluation of my eBay store. It was time just to kind of like change everything. Every once in a while, every year or so I do a purge. I canceled every single listing. Then I resell it. The same thing. We took away.

No more free shipping. I just can't do it. So it's $4 for. flat fee on everything, no returns on everything. But of course, if there's a problem, just contact me or open a return. It's not as described. I have something, and of course, I'm going to take it. So, yeah, I need to reevaluate.

And the best thing, and the last thing I did is I took away all best offers. I'm done. So I'm just going to do coupons and discounts. And having a best offer was just stressing me out beyond belief. And just causing all kinds of chaos. Plus, also, I decided to wipe out all of my block list. So now anybody can buy for me again if they want. I won't just go from there.

So we're going to try to go a little different direction here. Probably it will slow down my store, but no more best offers. So everything's changed. And then for my YouTube channel, I decided to go for now. I'm still in Prolog 10.3. yeah but for now we're just going to go back to my FFF archive for you as my as my YouTube as well same view I did that with my TikTok plus I also worked on some other social media things connected to it and so we were really

playing around that yesterday so yeah it's time for change 2026 I can't just realize you just can't have discounts and everything and have best offers because if I do that then I even want more so it just just got us so aggravating after a while that we decided that it's time for change so we'll just go through that so we'll always have some sort of discreet right now i think i'm running about 30% off between a discount between the coupon and best offer i mean coupon and a sale of it and i'll go on for a week and each week i'll change it but it'll be around that price sometimes in real even go more i'll say all right so um we did a video yesterday i got in a little

little fun thing. It's called a Dex Drive. I knew. I just happened to have one in a box. Didn't know what it was. It's a memory thing that you can connect your old computer to. Windows 98, Windows 95. And you take your memory card from an N64, put it in that, and then you can save games on your computer. I'm not really sure why you needed to do that back then, but you had a lot of games, I guess. So we played around with that, but my laptop that I want to use it for, Deshiba. Uh, flopper drive didn't end up. working so we got to get I ordered another flopper job replacement let's see that fix is it and we'll test that again look pretty fun if I see something weird different

I like to pick it up it was pretty cheap for that little Dex drive I got I still don't know what works or not all right so let's kind of see what's going on in the news this morning yeah so as a change is I always got to keep changing these up it's just doing the same thing expecting different results let's probably get down the business let's look at some news that I could handle. I see lots of things. Bodies don't really

really talking about all this stuff I see. Nothing really catches my except for a new Batman game has reportedly been canceled. Lots of cool games coming out in 20206.

I haven't looked because I can't connect to the internet with my, I mean, I can't connect to my PlayStation store with my PS5. because it's account locked. But yeah, there's a lot of games coming up. But we're just all about death straining too right now. So I'm not really going to gain anything else.

All right, so let's get some business here. Let's see what's going on. Etsy. We did have one order, so that was pretty awesome. Just a little one, quick one. Got it done. It was out right away. Let's see.

Let's go to Parchmark. I do think I wanted to work on Macari. I'd set that up. If you have your phone, you have to show your face and all. that stuff and I never really set it up so I may venture into that because obviously we decided that parchment at 1,298 followers and just one sale is not going to really do anything besides what it's what it is as a social media spot all right let's look at rsuss feed

be awesome like to see what I'm at my message in a bottle over the internet ocean wherever where it may go. It's always cool to see where it lands. Let's see what we get today. Two downloads yesterday. 687 the last 30 days. Still up 174% but it's dropping now. 200 in 2014. So we got. Singapore is still hanging in there. It's great to see Singapore. It's not seeing people hang around for a while. Pretty awesome. That's the only Singapore is the one that had all those downloads. So it's pretty cool. Glad I'm keeping them entertained. It's pretty awesome. Minneapolis had six downloads, United States, Richland,

two, and Toronto. I haven't seen Toronto a little bit, cool, Toronto are a couple, and then Axel in the Netherlands. I can see all the red dots. So between the Netherlands and Singapore, that's two different parts across that side of the world.

Singapore, I believe, is the one that's closest to Australia, I think. Netherlands are up top. I believe. I don't know my geography at all, so excuse me if I get those backwards. I think that's the way. Singapore was on there for a while. The red dot way down by Australia. Netherlands just came in the last couple of days or so, and it's the red dots way up in the corner by like UK, Italy up in that area. I could see the little boot. I can I always remember Italy by the little boot.

Let's check my monetize here. Let's see what we got going on here. Let's see if we're racking up. No, still at 42 cents. None of that's transferred over to available balance. And I've made 15 cents total podcasting to date. I don't want to expect it to really go much more than that. But we'll keep checking out of the change, pocket change. At some point, we'll get to a dollar. It would be awesome.

All right, let's just keep closing. Moving along here. YouTube. Yeah, YouTube, we decided to go back to the FF, but we changed the archive. with my store all my things are changing everything to archive now so it doesn't really change anything here views are all around the same well 103 000 down to 79 followers subscribers we've lost negative 438 more to just a little squirt and i stopped promoting one so they're all going to drop now

after five million of views what affiliate i still needed an affiliate but i wanted to use rssss I applied for the affiliate, but I never heard anything. My many times, the dishonest sneaky buyers dropping was 18.9K. I had a lot more, but I cut it down now. PS4 headset, explained, 3.7K. That one I just did just a little score, just a little bit.

Like $10 for the promotion. Of course, only doing through the website. Maybe one of these days we'll do a little square. I call it a little squirts now because it's just a few and we also was looking to TikTok as well so I changed the name on TikTok I promoted it I just started to promote something on TikTok so I have to branch out here come up with new places of things I haven't tried to do anything with TikTok so I may not do as much here on YouTube because it really is just not getting him anyway

but one that views were still 1.7 million watch hours 1.3 13.3.13. 3k estimated revenue $20.90. So it's the same. So we have one comment. Let's check it out. This is I have many I'm messing with. Oh cool working motherboard. Yeah, these are fun. I also these are fun. I also view of your models your models I could. So he's got, he's talking about the DeShiva laptop, big fan. He's got a 405 CS working motherboard, or quite beat up. 410 CDT dead, 420 CDD Ted, 425 CDD dead, 200 CDS, fully working at 430 CTB2T boots,

up with password, BIOS password, 430 I have. Yeah, I do have that, 430. Oh, now this one works actually. So we'll throw a link to that. I have a couple of those. I think those are the ones that work. I'll give them this comment. Show them some of the other Tashiba laptops I have.

Let's see, what's one? I have that one. 430 CDT. Oh, that's that one. Yeah, that's the one I think I have. I don't get to have any of the other ones. I do have that one. All right, so let's go to business and see how,

and we've changed things up. it's going to have some bearing on what we're doing but we'll say we'll see how it goes I got some sales so that worked out pretty awesome six sales so I know I'm going to have to worry about best offers anymore but I did put a note saying you can contact me you still want more maybe I'll do something I'm not going to just it's just a waste of my time exactly as described ship very quickly well-packed excellent Tandy HDX dirty. Oh, that was my dirty disk drive, but it was

how it was. That's what I was. That's where I was selling. On time, as described, good seller. I don't ship fast in good condition just as described. Thank you. Missing cover, single foot. So, these are all good to comment. It's pretty cool. Good start for my morning.

Let's see what else we get to. Saw some sales, so that's pretty awesome. I changed things up. I spent a good couple of few hours. We do on my store. And then there's a chance that I can throw another 5% but I haven't done it yet. I went and said, oh, cool.

So we sold some stuff yesterday. N64. Nope. My discount coupon is still not enough. Oh, that's my note. Put a note on every listing now. So when you buy something, you get a little note.

PS3. Oh, so we sold some stuff. there are cool all right so we've got a slim two-pin marked two-pin and we have a Sega Dreamcast model two bottom plate otherboard plate some power supplies super slim power supply I sold another one yesterday a rubber little rubber thing for the original PS3 Fats Model A, B, or E.

It's the little rubber security cover, and it does not have a square on. All the rest do. So only the original ones have the no square. They have some of those. PS3 3000 model. Slim power supply.

And one cartridge slot. 7374C. I'm reselling those now too. So that's cool. So what's the kind of messages? So messages should just be, says, your listings are awesome.

This is my first attempt ever to December, example. I just heard this is. I didn't focus on the fact that I do. I also do often. This is a guy, he, he bought something for me, but he put the wrong part.

Once, once in a while, I'll make a rookie mistake. So he made a working mistake. He just saw the module and didn't realize this is for the Xbox 360 E 1538, the last Xbox 360. Inside the front panel, there's two different boards in there. I sell them both separately. This guy just assumed it was one, I guess, and ordered it, and then realized later when you open the thing up that there was actually two.

So I do often buy items. I can once in a while here I see a buyer that seems pretty cool I will send them a link to my which is now back to

FF Archive and Coying How much for this part So this is what we're going to get now How much for this part? Oh yeah the other thing This is the lowest lowest I can go Even one ounce So what we're going to do now that I don't have any

Best offers I can send an offer though even so what I'll do is I'll send him an office somebody wants something to listing another return lowest I go is 10 dollars because you one ounce now is oh that's the same guy all right

oh so this guy with this is a guy who did something yesterday and I'm trying to change my ways is what I would have done and what I did is two different things so yesterday this buyer I sold him a PS2

fat board specifically detailed that it's only the original 015 019 022. You can only use it for those. Yesterday, this buyer opened a return on that and said, did not like. But at the same time, he opened a return. I mean, he purchased a second one of the 013-010. So the old me would have said, heck no. You're returning one on me.

I'm not letting you purchase a second one. I would have canceled the order. That would have been aggravated. While I'm so aggravated about the fact that you returned one as a mistake, and now you're going to order a different one. But I'm going to try to change my ways a little bit here. And I said, all right. I'll just shake it off.

I'll take the return, and I'll still ship the other one to him without saying anything. so that's where I'm going to try to change a little bit. It's not going to be easy. I was very aggravated about that. What he did is he purchased the wrong board. He opened his up later and realized, oh, I have an 01003. I can't use this 015, 019, 0122. I set up an 019.

Instead of opening it up first, then ordering. Does that? Just was wondering, do you happen to have? have so we got another comment yeah yes yes so this guy's asking about PS2 slim but the last mile yes I have covers shells for the 9,000 model show you I have shells for the shell for the black I believe I have black and red but no I'm not red black and silver So this guy seems like he's international. So somebody asked me,

Quests I go with shipping costs so I can send an offer $10 with a note Just. So this is where I'm going to do going forward. If someone wants something, they can contact me

and decide to want to take a little bit more off, I can send you an offer. Yeah, this is really going to work out good for me long term. Keep my sanity. What left of little sanity I have and we'll try to

minimize it a little bit. All right, so just the white. I had to do something different. So far, so good. All right, so I'll send him a $10 offer. That's the best I can do. Shipping, not included. That's the best I can do.

So if you need something, there's no more best offers. They're gone. Just contact me. We can work something out. You got something? You want to take a few more dollars off? Sure.

But remember, I already have sales. That's the key thing. If I didn't have sales, I wouldn't make anything. I have to eat it. It was one or the other. I like the sales better. I can control sales where I can't control best offers.

It's just a constant half hacking and all that. And the one hit wonders. I just don't want to talk about that anymore. So now we don't have to. Be else. I already feel better today. All right. So that's it.

So we've got a few sales to help me out. When you change things up, it can change everything. But sales are there. there a good amount and those other things that were always happening they weren't getting me anywhere and nor was it

getting the buyer anywhere so now I just take the relief off of both of us if you see a sale and something that's in your range sure or you could contact me if it's a good contact directly

I may but you have to contact not these random silly things all right so that's pretty much it for this morning. It's pretty cool. So that's what some changes going on here at 2026. Still working on my changes. They're always, I always evolve. You have to.

And I'm still looking for more places that may do a lot more with TikTok. A few other things to try to see if I can drum up another, uh, you know, another side hustle. We've just determined that YouTube is not barring some miracle, which I just can't soon to find it. So we'll look out over other places. TikTok is one of them. I don't have that many followers there. I think I had 3,007. But I never really promoted there or anything.

But we're gonna start doing that. I'm gonna start doing live feeds. When I used to do live feed out on TikTok, I used to get hundreds and hundreds of views. I used to get a lot of views on live feeds from my YouTube, but then they dropped the way down. Nobody really stays. They come in for a minute and they're gone.

Just normal for me, so. for me so we're gonna move it on down all right everyone so I think I said it's it I'll up I should say that's everything going on here eBay's looking pretty good I'm gonna make a little video you can put a video on your front page so I'm gonna do it today reintroducing my ff archaicicem forum and it changes me so do a quick little video I'll put it on YouTube and stuff too you can put a minute video for on my store or event so we'll do that and I'm due for a one-on-one so we'll maybe do a one-on-one

today I do have a few orders but we'll we'll do a one-on-one just talk about where things are going and places new places where we're gonna go all right everyone so you have a great Friday end of the work week going into the weekend and I will talk to you tomorrow all right bye
